2014 Map of Van Creek

About this map

Wenatchee National Forest dominates this section of the Entiat Mountains north of Leavenworth, defined by a complex network of canyons and high ridges. The landscape is carved by watercourses like Chumstick Cr, Van Creek, and Eagle Creek, which dictate the placement of early access routes such as Eagle Creek Rd and Bjork Canyon Rd. Prominent landmarks including Medicine Ridge and the hidden waters of Medicine Spring and Mud Spring suggest the area's importance for early forest management and resource access. This 2014 survey documents the modern forest development road system, including Merry Canyon Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 7531, illustrating how these mountain corridors have been utilized to navigate the steep grades of Railroad Canyon and Clark Canyon.
